Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 launching in India

Yesterday we reported that Xiaomi was teasing for some announcement to be happen in India for today. IT is nothing like a smartphone launch event but just a team of 100 explorers who will get their first hands on to the device before even launch. The new device that we will see in India will be Redmi Note 3 which was introduced last year in China. It was a full metal device with fingerprint scanner on the back. Xiaomi also claims that the fingerprint scanner is one of the fastest & it can unlock your device within 0.3 seconds.Users who will take part in the 100 explorers challenge, will also get a chance to win Xiaomi Mi Band each day.

The device was launche din China with two variants , one with MediaTek Helio X10 chipset & another with Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 chipset.
